Hello, i am Jose, from the Canary Islands, Spain. I was registered here several months ago, but did not write alot, but now i'm back.
Actually i am registered in a Spanish Phobia forum too, but though i can speak some English, i think this forum may be very interesting too, in order to recover from my social anxiety.
I also will be pleased to read other persons' messages and try to be of any assistance.
Thanks to everyone and sorry about the mistakes i may have made.
Bye!!! Wink

Well, i am 37 years old and have social anxiety. I think i have always had it but lately it has been growing worse and life is more and more limited to me, because i feel anxiety in practically all situations.
Ironically, i love languages and work at a tourist office, so i have to deal with tourist from around the world.
But since i love learning and speaking languages, i like what i do, what i don' t like at all is having to deal with other work mates. Then is when my Phobia appears, and i start sweating, getting nervous and my voice trembles etc, etc.
I haven' t ever gone to see a psychologist sofar, but i think that may be the best thing to do, because otherwise i am afraid i will not recover.
Thanks for reading me.
Bye!!
